Title: Which song was a bigga hit Cali Luv or G thang
Post by: HBKid_Jr on August 06, 2001, 06:54:53 PM

Which song was a bigger hitt in ur opinion California Love or Nutin but a "G" thang.  This one is hard,  Nutin but a "G" thang is really one of tha first westcoast songs to get love from tha east,  this song represents Gangsta Rap California Love on tha other hand had tha greatest rapper of our time in 2pac an tha Greatest producer of our time in Dr.Dre on tha same track.  Even though it came out during tha East-West beef it was gettin luv from tha east.  So which song yall think was tha bigger hitt

Nothin but a G thang had a bigger impact on many of the rappers out today.  The California Love Videos however, paved the way for the multimillion dollar videos that come out.  The Cali Love remix video is my favorite video of all time

Nothin' But  A G Thang - This song straight put tha West Coast on tha map. Well not really, I know there were already alot of West Coast Hits out, but this song let people know that tha West was here to stay. Made muthafuckers from ALL AROUND recognize! Nothin' But A G Thing is like the definition of tha West Coast Sound.

Maybe the message Snoop gives out isn't as good as the one 2pac was giving out. But you can't deny that Snoop's also one of the greatest of our time. How else could you explain him being out for more than 10 years and still dropping platinum albums? Snoop & Dre make one of the best combinations IMO. Even better than Dre & Pac.

California Love was a tight song too but it just doesn't get as much props as Nothin But A G Thang in my eyez.

Nice question

I'd give it to Cali Love from a UK perspective

Cause it's far far more famous over here and I just love throwing that dub in the club!

"......G Thang" has made the most impact & it

represents the whole "G" lifestyle on a whole & is a

classic West release but "Cali Love" IMO is also a

classic & it never tires no matter how much I bump it.

Hellrazor, Nuthin But a G Thang went platinum i dont think Cali Love even went gold. G thang was the first gangsta rap video to be in regular rotation during the day on MTV.

whoever it was that said about snoop and platinum, yo, n-sync make constant hits, they not "straight gangsta", lol

we ain't talkin bout impact, or mere sales...and anyway, cali love sold 3 million copies worldwide, g thang 2 mil...

we talkin about biggest hit, a mix of the two...cali love...to me...is the greatest song of all time...look, it's my opinion...damn, all i gotta say is:

"Say what you say, but gimme that bomb beat from Dre!
Lemme seranade the streets of L.A., from Oakland to Sac-town, the Bay Area and back down,  Cali is where they put they mack down...
GIMME LOVE!"

Listen to the man!   :D

Then why isn't listed in Deathrows greatest Hits where it tells the platinum singles. Though Pac did have a double platinum single How Do You Want It.

G Thang without a doubt.

Cali Love is overrated in my opinion...
